Being a makeup junkie means I’ve definitely accumulated
quite the makeup stash over the years, particularly over the past two years
since I’ve really gotten into makeup and collecting it. Even though I have a large amount of product,
I definitely have those ‘essentials,’ that I’ve found myself gravitating
towards more recently, and I thought I’d share them with you all today.
Babylips Dr. Rescue
“Too Cool”
This product has been a major life save this past winter
since I’ve discovered it/since it was released.
It does have some menthol in it, which I think is why it has been so
healing for ultra chapped and dried out lips.
Smashbox PhotoFinish
Primer Light
This primer definitely beats out any others that I’ve tried
out. It’s very light on the skin- there
is a regular formula, but I use the “Light” for acne-prone, oily skin. It works incredibly well, and holds my
foundation and face makeup in place all day long, and when paired with my
De-Slick setting spray, can work miracles!
Bobbi Brown
Foundation SPF 15
My new favorite foundation, this is probably one of the best
foundations I’ve ever used. It’s extremely
light-weight on the skin, but provides a great, heavy coverage that has an
amazing high quality. The only downside
is the price tag, but you use so little of it with each application it is sure
to last a long time. My bottle looks as
if I’ve hardly used it and I’ve had it for four months and use it almost every
day of the week.
Maybelline Instant
Age Rewind Concealer (for undereyes)
If you have a problem with dark or hard to conceal under eye
circles, or just didn’t have a good night’s sleep the night before, definitely
give this drugstore concealer a try!
There also is a brightening formulation, which I do not have, but I
would like to try out next. This makes
such a difference on my skin, it’s unreal.
Tarte Amazonian Clay
Concealer
This is a heavy-duty concealer that has a thick, creamy
consistency. It is super easy to work
with, and the application blends well on the skin, and provides amazing
coverage all day long, on almost any type of spot- scar, acne- you name it.
Milani Baked Blush
“Luminoso”
I love this blush. It
is a gorgeous pink color with a slight golden hue to it that is easily
buildable. I love wearing it lightly
swept it on my cheekbones for a light glow, or to build it up for a brighter
glow.
Anastasia Tinted Brow
Gel “Caramel”
My favorite brow gel possible, this holds the brows in place
all day, and the color tint that is in it helps add an extra dimension to the
face that is perfect. It makes doing the
brows so much simpler if you don’t have the time to fill them in to the extreme-
just add a swipe of the tinted gel, and there ya go!
CoverGirl Clump
Crusher Mascara
For the longest time, and for some odd reason, I avoided
trying out this product. When I finally caved
in and gave it a shot, I fell in love, and now it’s my favorite mascara,
beating out all of the Maybelline varieties that I love. I still love the others, but this is my
go-to. It comes in numerous shades, and
the volume and plump it gives your lashes is incredible!
NYX Slide On Glide On
Eye Pencils
My current favorite eyeliners, NYX is an amazing drugstore
brand that not too many people know about.
I have a feeling this will soon change now that they are sold in
CVS. If you have not tried out the
brand, definitely check out these eye pencils.
They are super silky, have great application, and stay on all day without
smudging. And the color selection is
just gorgeous.
Urban Decay De-Slick
Makeup Setting Spray
I couldn’t wear my makeup the way I currently do without
this setting spray. It holds my ‘face’
on all day long, and keeps it looking fresh from application to removal, and
that makes it a Holy Grail product for me.
If you are looking for a setting spray specifically made for oily skin,
definitely check out this one.
